When Col. Dangiwa Umar speaks, Govt will do well to listen – Fani-Kayode

“When Col. Abubakar ‘Dangiwa’ Umar speaks the Government would do well to listen. He is a man of deep wisdom, profound knowledge and extraordinary courage.

“Like yours truly, he fears no man and bows before no mortal. He speaks truth to power and he makes tyrants tremble”.

Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-kayode, submitted the above statement while commending the boldness of a former military Governor of Kaduna state, Col. Abubakar Dangiwa Umar (Rtd).

Col. Umar had yesterday in a letter counseled President Muhammadu Buhari, over the lopsided appointments in his administration.

He advised Buhari to change his method of appointments, saying that he (Buhari) has only three years to write authentic history.

He warned Mr President that his skewed appointments into the offices of the federal government, favoring some and frustrating others, shall bring ruin and destruction to the nation.

In view of the above, Fani-Kayode commended Umar for his boldness in the following words.

DANGIWA’S LETTER

“At this time and in the light of all that have happened since you took office, any conversation with you Mr. President cannot gloss over the chaos that has overtaken appointments into government offices in your administration.

All those who wish you and the country well must mince no words in warning you that Nigeria has become dangerously polarized and risk sliding into crisis on account of your administration’s lopsided appointments which continues to give undue preference to some sections of the country over others. Nowhere is this more glaring than in the leadership cadre of our security services.
